Baroque trailblazers Antonio Vivaldi and J. S. Bach launch this journey through the world of 18th-century orchestral music. Concertmaster Gina DiBello shines in one of Vivaldi’s most intriguing dark-hued concertos, balanced by the buoyant, dance-driven elegance of Bach’s Orchestral Suite No. 1. Telemann’s cosmopolitan brilliance and the bold innovation of his godson, C. P. E. Bach, lead seamlessly to Joseph Haydn’s impassioned Symphony No. 80.

This concert begins with an evocation of nature by the tragically short-lived composer Lili Boulanger. Next, you will get to hear “Impressions of Autumn” from “The Four Seasons” by Vivaldi, followed by "Primavera Porteña (Spring)" from "The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires" by Astor Piazzolla. Hindemith’s roaring “Symphonic Metamorphosis,“ will showcase the Madison Symphony’s virtuosos before settling us into the final piece. Every measure of the poetic “Pastoral” Symphony animates Beethoven's impressions of country life. This is Beethoven at peace, amid his beloved nature.

The recorder – perhaps under the guise of its humble appearance and wide accessibility – is in fact a magnificent and extremely sophisticated instrument which acted as one of the main driving forces of the western music tradition through the Renaissance and Baroque periods. The purity and elegance of its tone make it the perfect vessel for the delicate lightness of music at that time, but its brilliant versatility carry it all the way to the music of today as well.

Finnish violinist Pekka Kuusisto joins forces with Aurora Orchestra for two of classical music’s greatest nature-inspired hits, with a sprinkling of Kuusisto’s signature experimental flair.

The natural world has proved a muse for many composers, but there’s arguably no more ecstatic end to a symphony than Sibelius’ painting of soaring swans. It will be impossible not to feel like you’ve swapped out the Queen Elizabeth Hall for a silent retreat in the Finnish countryside with this triumphant proclamation of nature in all its beauty.

From Finland to Italy, Vivaldi’s Four Seasons is re-imagined for the 21st century, interspersed with tunes performed by Pekka Kuusisto and Ale Carr, most of them traditional, most of them Nordic. Folk dances from the Åre Swedish mountain range become the Apres-ski to Vivaldi’s ‘Winter’; a lazy Finnish summer evening unfurls in the form of a folk song before Vivaldi’s summer storm hits.

To open, Caroline Shaw’s Plan and Elevation, a driving yet reflective work inspired by nature and architectural drawings. A bird’s-eye “plan” shows the whole structure, while an “elevation” reveals its intricate details and ornaments – much as tonight’s improvisations illuminate music centuries old from a new angle.

The program opened with an unexpected Vivaldi: his Concerto for Two Cellos RV 531 , reimagined for cello (Cyrille Tricoire De Haro) and bassoon (Rodolphe Bernard). A rare dialogue between two instruments, between Baroque virtuosity and the complicity of the soloists. Mendelssohn then unfolded the legend of La Belle Mélusine , a fairy-tale overture with melodious waves. Ravel, with his Menuet antique , revived the grace of a bygone era, while Debussy, in Nuages ​​(from the Nocturnes ), suspended the sky in its luminous grays. As a grand finale, Mozart's "Haffner" Symphony burst forth in vibrant fanfares and majestic dances. A night of stars, breaths, and strings.

Antonio Lucio Vivaldi certainly had no idea that almost three centuries later he would still be one of the most famous composers in the history of music. The successor of the masters of composition of the so-called Venetian school, music teacher and concertmaster in the prestigious orchestra of the Venetian girls' orphanage Ospedale della Pietá, and a renowned instrumentalist throughout Europe, he created over three and a half hundred instrumental concertos. The orchestra of the institution financed by the Venetian Republic was obliged to perform at masses and religious and secular celebrations, several times a month, which is why Vivaldi's creative period was unusually fruitful. Evil tongues claim that he copied individual compositions himself. The largest part of them is, of course, intended for the violin. They demonstrate an exceptionally rich melodic invention and Vivaldi's great feeling for the character of instrumental stylization.

In a programme dedicated to recorder concertos, the name of Antonio Vivaldi is an indispensable reference: the author of an impressive number of concertos, well beyond the famous Four Seasons, Vivaldi shaped a language that profoundly marked 18th-century Europe. Alongside him, composers such as Georg Philipp Telemann, Johann Friedrich Fasch and Giovanni Battista Sammartini were able to offer original and refined interpretations of the concerto form, in an extraordinary variety of styles and formal solutions. It is perhaps surprising that the recorder, often considered an instrument with a limited repertoire, should have been the vehicle for such a rich and international production, capable of reflecting different national identities and, at the same time, an authentically European spirit, even verging on the galant style. This programme thus highlights, together, the concerto as a musical form and the recorder as solo instrument, revealing its expressive breadth and vitality. At the heart of this project is also the theme of cultural exchange between Italy and the Netherlands: many of Vivaldi's works were published in Amsterdam at the beginning of the 18th century by the famous publisher Estienne Roger, spreading rapidly throughout Europe and profoundly influencing the musical taste of the time. More than three hundred years later, this ideal dialogue is renewed in the encounter between the flutist Teun Wisse and the Ensemble Locatelli, an artistic partnership born of a shared passion for this repertoire and matured through concerts in various European countries, culminating in a programme designed to celebrate Vivaldi and the immediate and communicative pleasure of a music that, then as now, thrives on energy, exchange and shared joy.

The barking of a dog, the buzzing of flies, a drunkard staggering home: these are just a few of the pictures ingeniously painted in Antonio Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons. Published in 1725, his set of four violin concertos was staggeringly ahead of its time, a forerunner to the ‘programme music’ of Liszt, Berlioz and Richard Strauss over a century later.

Still, it is the musical backdrop to these events – the atmosphere Vivaldi creates across the length of each concerto – that sticks with the listener longest. This rich, shimmering collection is a celebration of contrasts: from spring’s freshness and summer’s heat to the mellow fruitfulness of autumn and the chill of winter.

Vivaldi’s Venice was a thriving cosmopolitan centre. A meeting point of the European Renaissance with the cultures of North Africa and all corners of the Mediterranean, “La Serenissima” was alive with a kaleidoscope of tastes, sights and sounds – and its musical culture was no exception.

Superlative countertenor Iestyn Davies leads an unmissable exploration of this rich world. Written for performance at dusk, Vivaldi’s deeply atmospheric solo cantata Nisi Dominus evokes an extraordinary array of musical colours. It forms a rich thread through the evening, and its centrepiece “Cum dederit” is a moment of transcendent beauty unmatched in Baroque music.

There are seasons all over the world, but depending on where we are, they look – or sound – different. Around 300 years ago, Antonio Vivaldi set spring, summer, autumn, and winter to music in a "European" way in his concert cycle "The Four Seasons." Kala Ramnath, in turn, explores the seasons of her home country India (divided into six periods) in her composition "Indian Seasons," arranged by the accomplished composer and sitar player Indro Roy-Chowdhury. Following the opening concert – together with the celebrated percussionist Bickram Ghosh – the master of the Indian violin will then contrast her musical impressions of the cycle of the seasons with Vivaldi's famous concertos. Both works will enter into a global, not merely meteorological, dialogue – at the height of the Duisburg spring – which is thematically complemented by Kala Ramnath's new work "Panchabhoota – The Voice of Nature." In five movements, the composer deals with the classical Indian pentad of the primal elements ether (Akash), air (Vayu), fire (Agni), water (Āpas) and earth (Prithvi).

Vivaldi’s iconic Four Seasons (with his accompanying sonnets) and Piazzolla’s sultry Four Seasons of Buenos Airesmeet in a program where time, place, and style intertwine. From the bright renewal of Spring to the icy slips of Winter, Vivaldi paints nature in Baroque brilliance. One of the earliest examples of “program music,” his work evokes creeks, birds, storms, drunken dancers, and warm fires. Piazzolla’s southern-hemisphere vision pulses with tango rhythms and urban melancholy, reframing the seasons through the lens of Buenos Aires. Together, they create a striking dialogue across centuries and continents—earthy, electric, timeless, and dazzlingly performed by the Vivace Baroque Orchestra, a group of fourteen top-tier New York musicians who gather for periodic tours.

Antonio Vivaldi is known across all continents today. Among other things, he has his four violin concertos from his Opus 8 of 1725 to thank for this, which are considered to symbolise the art of Baroque music-making. Vivaldi himself summarised them as the ‘Four Seasons’ and under this title they are still among the best-known works from the Baroque period. Very virtuosic and full of small and large affects, they present the great wealth of colour of their era. These violin concertos are made for the top Dutch violinist Janine Jansen and the Camerata Salzburg, because rediscovering the classics of music history is their speciality. We can look forward to the breath of fresh air that the musicians, who are well attuned to each other, will blow through the familiar scores in May. And even more virtuoso baroque music can be experienced in this concert when Francesco Geminiani's Concerto grosso in D minor is performed that evening in the Alte Oper. (Pro Arte Frankfurt)

Schuster Center

One of perhaps two handfuls of the most famous works in the entire history of music is exactly 300 years old – and still enjoys immense popularity: Antonio Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons" is actually a collection of four violin concertos that capture the seasons in impressively audible tones. Spring thunders and lightning, summer suffers from the heat, farmers celebrate in autumn, and winter bites with cold. We hear the forces of nature, animal sounds, and human life in the cycle of a year. Host Thomas Scholz takes the young listeners on a journey through Vivaldi's masterpiece, which not only demonstrates the capabilities of program music, but also the versatility of a solo violin's sound.

Free Waldorf School Göttingen

Janine Jansen has no problem playing popular works like Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" again and again, because, as she says, "ultimately, every interpretation is unique." The CAMERATA audience can also expect such unique performances when the orchestra's artistic partner embarks on an adventurous and atmospheric journey through the Italian seasons of the early 18th century, still unclouded by climate change. The music magazine Stereoplay praised Janine Jansen's performance of "The Seasons" as "a completely natural, breathing flow." Janine Jansen also brings two other great Italian Baroque violinists into play, bundled together in one work: Vivaldi's contemporary Geminiani reworked a violin sonata by Corelli on the voluptuous Portuguese dance "folía" into a brilliant concerto grosso. Jansen and the CAMERATA will demonstrate how productive this concert form still is in our time in a string concerto by film music king Nino Rota from 2007 and a charming concerto combination for string quartet, string orchestra and harpsichord by Richard Dubugnon from 2020.
